There is a clear Talmudic prohibition of Jews over the Holy Land , until their sins have been expiated in exile. Violation of the terms of Jewish Exile has caused much suffering for all parties in the Middle East . It is high time to dismantle the Israeli State . It is a blemish on the Jewish people. All mankind is told by the States representatives, that Israel represents Jewry. This is utter nonsense. Heretics cannot represent the Torah people. Those guilty of massive cruelty towards the Palestinians cannot represent a merciful people.”
                                                                                                          Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss

   America , I have a dream. I dream that after nearly a century of supporting the Zionists aim of a homeland in Palestine for Jews, you have woken up to the fact that you have been deceived. You have realised that the state you call Israel has nothing to do with Judaism; it is just a construct of a racist philosophy called Zionism that came into being only a century ago. It is this racist movement that conquered, by deceit and force of arms, a part of the Middle East called Palestine that has been peopled by Arabs for most of its recorded history. In my dream, you, the American people ask these conquerors to leave and return to their lands from whence they came. So that at long last, all the people of Palestine, forced from their homes since 1948 can return to their homeland and claim what is legally theirs - their country, their homes, their fields, their olive groves and their water.

   Yes, such a proposal does sound far-fetched to most people who do not understand the history of Palestine . However, America , if you were truly seeking peace in the Middle East , then this would be the best solution – send the Jews home. Yes, many have been born in Israel since its establishment in 1948, but just as Israel does with Jews born elsewhere in the world, the United Nations could draw up a charter that would allow every Jew to be recognised as a citizen of his, his parents, or grandparent’s country of origin, giving him or her the right of return with the same rights as those born there.

   If this seems a little outlandish, just consider for a moment the demographic composition and origins of most Jews living in Palestine .

   Whilst there had been a steady trickle of Jewish settlers since the first years of the 20th century, according to Israel ’s Ministry of Information, in 1922 there were still only 84,000 Jews in Palestine , against 600,000 Muslims, and 73,000 Christian Arabs, with the overwhelming majority of Muslims and Christians being born in Palestine . Twenty-four years later, the figures had altered dramatically. Just after the Second World War and just before the creation of Israel by UN mandate, the figures stood at 554,000 Jews, 1,061 Muslims and 135,550 Christian Arabs.

   While the increase in both, Muslim and Christian populations, is fairly normal ratio of growth, the explosion of the Jewish population can only be explained by the influx of ever increasing numbers of emigrants, arriving in the country (which in fact was/is the case). After the creation of Israel in 1948, most Arabs, Muslims and Christians, fled their homes in fear for their lives. The government of Israel , as policy, actively encouraged Jewish communities in less developed countries like Ethiopia , Tunisia , Yemen and other states in North Africa and the Middle East , to leave their ancestral homes and settle in the new State of Israel.

   The population statistics reflect this. By 1967, eighty-five percent of the population were Jewish. There were now 2,383,600 of them, while the rest of the population, Christian and Muslims, made up fifteen percent, with 390,300. However, in 1967 there were another 954,00 Muslims and Christian Arabs living in displaced persons camps in the West Bank and Gaza . It was not until 1980 that the number of Israelis born in Israel (55%) exceeded those that arrived by emigration. Even in 1996, the last date that we have figures for, the number of Israeli’s born in the country totaled only 61%. From just these numbers, it can clearly be seen that since it establishment in 1948, most of the population of Israel has comprised emigrants from other lands. It is clear too, just from the statistical data on population supplied by Israel that the Jews have no legal right through birth or generational ownership, to land and property in Palestine . They have stolen most of it from Palestine ’s indigenous population, the Palestinians. So it seems to me that rather than saying that Israel is an ‘established fact’, we should rather ask, ‘how can we best give Palestine back to its rightful owners’. The best and most obvious choice would be to peacefully repatriate all Jews to their lands of origin.

    Speaking of origin, here is another telling point in favour of returning Jewish Israelis to the lands they left to settle in Palestine , and eventually establish a state there, and that point is that the major part of modern Jewry is not even of Semitic origin; it is Turkic / Caucasian. This surprising fact is not much talked about, and is little known. In fact, Israel ridicules it and does all it can to suppress knowledge of the fact, as it totally negates its claim to Palestine, based on having lived in Palestine nearly 3,000 years ago.

   As we know, the population of Israel is made up of two distinct groups called the Sephardim and the Ashkenzim.

   The Sephardim are descendents of the Jews who lived in Spain until their expulsion with the Muslims, at the end of the 15th century, and later settled along the countries bordering the Mediterranean . In the 1960’s, the Sephardim numbered 500,000, while the Ashkenzim, in the same period, numbered around 11million. It can clearly be seen that the word ‘Ashkenzim’ is almost synonymous with the word Jew.

    Now the Ashkenzim are descendents of a people known as the Khazars, who, from the seventh to the eleventh century, ruled an empire extending from the Black Sea to the Caspian and from the Caucasus to the Volga .

   In 740AD, the King of Khazria, wishing to maintain the political and ideological independence of his empire, and avoid absorption by either of his powerful neighbours, the Christian Eastern Roman Empire, or the Muslim Caliphate in Baghdad, ordered all his subjects to convert to Judaism and did so himself.

   From 740AD until its fall in 1016, it was in effect a Jewish State. After the destruction of the Khazar Empire, the Jewish Khazars migrated into other regions of Eastern Europe , mainly Russia , Poland and Germany . Until the 20th century these were the countries with the largest concentration of Jews in the world. It is also well documented that the Jewish population of Hungary was of Khazar decent. This population migrated westward and into America , as state sponsored anti-Semitism spread in Eastern Europe .

    It was these Jews that became known as the Ashkenzim, and who now make up the majority in Israel .

   As the Israeli scholar of Medieval Jewish History, A. N Poliak states in Arthur Koestler’s Book ‘The Thirteenth Tribe, “The descendants of the Khazar Jews, those who stayed where they were (in Khazria) and those who emigrated to the other countries like the United States, and those that went to Israel, constitute the largest majority of world Jewry.”

    So, since America ’s support by its Christian population is founded on its belief that God bequeathed the territory to a biblical “tribe” of Semitic Middle Eastern origin, it can clearly be seen that most Jews living today in Israel are neither hereditary natives from the “ Holy Land ”, nor are any other Eastern Semitic people.

    Arthur Koestler, the noted author and intellectual, himself an Hungarian born Jew, noted, “ The story of the Khazar Empire begins to look like the most cruel hoax history has ever perpetuated.” I feel that the people of Palestine , imprisoned and brutalised by the Zionist State of Israel , would be the first to agree with him.

    So in all justice, it is not unreasonable to ask these people to leave the land of Palestine and return to their own homes and let the rightful owners return to theirs.

   How can this be achieved, I hear you ask? Well, I believe that America , Britain and France, all who have done much to harm this tiny land and its neighbours since the beginning of the 20th century, should set up a fund specifically for the purpose of repatriating the Jews of Israel to the countries of their origin. They must also stop funding and supporting these occupiers, and indicate to all Israeli Jews that they will actively support the Palestinians in the reoccupation of their homeland.

   The fund would have to be enormous, probably in trillions rather than in billions of dollars. It should ensure that every Israeli Jew who is to return to his country of origin is able to have a home and a guaranteed livelihood. They would be granted full citizenship, full civil rights and be protected under local and international human rights laws.

   Taking these actions I believe, would be the best way to bring peace and prosperity to the entire Middle East , and re-establish America as the defender of true democratic freedom and the upholder and protector of human right, that it strives to be.

   America , you want to stop terrorism and prevent harm coming to your people, this is exactly what the Palestinians seek as well. If you are prepared to listen to them, and not to their oppressors, and be prepared to act to support them, then you will be admired not feared and resented. This would ensure that terrorism will never again gain a hold over the minds of those oppressed, and your country would once again be safe from acts such as 9/11.

   As Arthur Koestler said, the myth of the origins of the majority of Jews is a hoax, and you are the dupes who have fallen for it. So wake up! Support the just cause, and let the Palestinians return to their rightful home.
